Question

Describe four ways in which the Malpighian body is structurally suited for its function

Answer 1

Answer:

The Malpighian body is adapted for the process of ultrafiltration as follows: The afferent arteriole is wider than the efferent arteriole and so the blood in the glomerulus is at a high pressure • There is a large filtration surface due to the numerous capillaries that form the glomerulus

Answer 2

Answer:

The Malpighian body involves in the process of ultrafiltration.

Explanation:

• The Malpighian body filters and separates waste from the blood.

• The malpighian body is made up of the glomerulus and the Bowman's Capsule.

• The glomerulus is a network of capillaries that receive blood from the afferent arteriole and further the efferent arteriole.

• From the glomerulus, the component of blood diffuse into the Bowman's Capsule through the endothelium and basement membrane of the glomerulus and the epithelium of Bowman's Capsule.

• The Malpighian Body allows the filtration of blood so that it separates waste from the blood.

• The filtrate further moves to tubules where fine reabsorption and secretion take place.
